Stipes TKO/KO will show how clueless the bookies and hype buying fans are.

I used to absolutely laugh at the fact that stipe was the UFC Champ as you will see in my threads history i made a number of threads about how he became champion as a part time fighter... But time and itme again he has proven not only the bookies but the majority of fans wrong. Francis' only loss was via a decision against another new mma fighter who is 5'11 and 265 pounds a chubbby undersized dude who should be fighting at MW.

Just remember stipe has proven in every 5 rounder that he has amazing cardio. Francis is far rtoo msuscular to be a title contennding fighter and will gas by the 3rd and get finished with ease.. It's pretty much a free/money to bet , tho any real mma fan knows that...
 
Agreed.
Stipe 2nd round KO.

I wouldn't advise betting on HW fights, though.
 
I'm a long time MMA fan and I believe Stipe is a dead man walking. I just hope the KO isn't too brutal, Stipe is a good guy and I don't wanna see him on the canvas for several minutes:(
 
No one knows for sure. I'm sure we will get all the "I told you so" comments like we always do, but these guys hit like Mack trucks so who fucking knows?
 
I like Stipe in this fight, but it isn't clueless to think Ngannou can decapitate him. He can.
 
Stipe is just too hittable IMO. Always a chance he'll do the smart thing and try to make it a wrestling match, but he seems in denial about his weaknesses, making excuses when he got dropped or injured vs Reem and JDS. He reminds me of Weidman in that regard. No one takes strikes worse than Weidman, but he's in total denial about it.

Weidman is the middleweight Arlovski... backing up defensively with no movement whatsoever, chin up, hands down.

While i kind of agree i think it's more to do with him not respecting the boxing of those opponents, i see the fight being much like the hunt fight but standing with a slow pace and a mid to late ifnish. He has great fight IQ and he was very patient in the Hunt fight even in the JDS Fight.. tho cant say the same for JDS.

He's like a deer in the headlights when he's taking GNP or hit clean. I can't think of any fighter, even those with a glass jaw that takes strikes worse. And yet listening to him talk, he just can't acknowledge it and focus on grappling.
 
when did bookies become stupid lol? The line on this fight is totally based on public perception. Bookies dont lose money lol.
 
another new mma fighter who is 5'11 and 265 pounds a chubbby undersized dude who should be fighting at MW.
You mean a THICC and sexy dude whose weight is simply perfect!
 
The MMA world is notorious for buying into the hype machines. You don't see that as much in the boxing world because boxing fans have seen a lot more hype machines crash and burn.
 
HW fights are a coin flip..

Except for when a certain sambo fighter ruled things.. I can’t seem to remember his name..
 
Lol @ 5 rounds

You are soooooo observant !!!

Not one person on the planet is picking Francis because they think he’s gonna last more than 5-10 minutes

This is ending after the 2nd or 3rd hammer he lands on Stipe

Of course they dont lose money as a whole captain obvious... But n no doubt the hilarious odds of 2.55 straight win and the 3.45 for stipe tko/.ko will be dropping profit rats biug time, at least for the site i use :)
 
If the fight reaches the 3rd, I agree with you. That's a big if though.
 
regardless of opinon's ithe market for the fight to not go the distance is paying 1.10 tto 1.20 on some stupid sites.. Anyone with a brain will be dropping thousands on that one for some ez cash.

its like i said, this line is entirely based off public perception.

my book has francis as a -180 favorite. Stipe is +150. There is a ton of value betting on stipe for sure.

Yeah you're using the betting system the us uses i bet with eu sites it's a fair bit different, the us betting system has always confused me and my friends , i still dont fully understand it not that ive studied itor anything.
